'Drowning', A Story Of A Personal Battle

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Walking simulators are a very underrated genre when it comes to games. They can achieve so many things, such as telling a story. I find that they are also one of the most relaxing possible games.

Drowning is the kind of game from the walking simulator genre that really showcases how they can really tell an important story. It follows the story of a person in high school who is struggling with "a friend" who is giving them grief and making them feel less of themself. Each year all the problems progress and get slowly worse, with multiple different outcomes by the end.

The visuals of Drowning are simple yet very visually stimulating, and the music also has such a minimalistic vibe which I really appreciate. I also really appreciate that it talks about really taboo topics like mental health that should be discussed so much more in games. I really adore the message that Drowning has and I truly hope we see more from the developer Polygonal Wolf on the future.

What is a game you love that has an emotional message? Comment down below and maybe I'll be writing about it nezt!

Have a nice day!

Love, Galaxy Gaymer
